ShelterBox: Transforming Despair into Hope<\/strong>
\nShelterBox specializes in mobile shelters and supplies for emergency relief efforts. The UK-based organization has provided vital aid in 21 countries. In 2017, more than 162,000 people received ShelterBox assistance.<\/p>\n

Each aid experience is customized for the needs of the recipients. Emergency packages may include tents, building supplies, fresh water, solar lights, mosquito nets, and blankets. School kits help to mend the learning gap caused when access to education is interrupted.<\/p>\n

ShelterBox supplies empower recipients in a variety of ways:
\n\u2022 82% of surveyed beneficiaries said that they felt safer in the shelter they repaired or rebuilt using aid provided by ShelterBox.
\n\u2022 85% of surveyed beneficiaries agreed that receiving aid from ShelterBox meant they were warmer at night.
\n\u2022 88% of surveyed beneficiaries said that they had more privacy for themselves and their family after they had received aid from ShelterBox.<\/p>\n

Yardi + ShelterBox<\/strong>
\nShelterBox USA recently hosted a Lunch & Learn session with corporate sponsor, Yardi. The Yardi Santa Barbara office broke the Lunch & Learn attendance record with 45 attendees.<\/p>\n

\"Yardi<\/a>
\nLunch and Learn featured a presentation by ShelterBox President Kerri Murray. Attendees received an overview of one of the organization\u2019s popular innovations, The Standard Relief Tent. This waterproof tent protects its inhabitants from UV rays, winds up to 100kmh, and heavy rainfall. Inhabitants stay dry, even when exterior standing water levels reach up to six inches.<\/p>\n

While keeping the elements out, the tent maintains comfortable conditions inside. A unique ventilation system creates a 10-degree temperature difference inside of the tent. In colder conditions, a winterized liner helps to protect inhabitants. Yardi employees were encouraged to tour a live setup of The Standard Relief Tent and its life-saving features.<\/p>\n

Attendees also explored the Standard Box. A sample Standard Box includes many essentials to keep families healthy and safe during emergency situations: sleeping bags, water purification tablets, a 3-month supply of fresh water, cookware and utensils, a multi-fueled stove, flashlights, rope, ponchos, and a toolkit. The box itself can be used for storage or as a cot.<\/p>\n

During the Lunch and Learn, Yardi received the 2017 Community Partner Award for its longtime support of ShelterBox USA. You, too, can join Yardi in supporting ShelterBox! Learn how you can get involved.<\/a><\/p>\n
